Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 805 - 517: Fallen Leaves in the Wind (Part 2)

The rain was getting heavier.

Pouring rain soaked the Greenstone Avenue.

Passers-by were all in a hurry, quickly leaving.

Soon, in the vast Greenstone Avenue, only Hong Yuan was left alone, standing still with an oil-paper umbrella.

Some diners on the second and third floors of the Hundred Joy Tavern observed the flow of rainwater, as if sensing something, looking down, but finding nothing.

At this moment.

Hong Yuan felt a sense of silence in his heart, surrounded by loneliness.

Suddenly, too suddenly!

He wasn't prepared for anything.

In an instant, images of moments spent with Tang Baiwei flashed through Hong Yuan's mind.

The first time he learned about Tang Baiwei.

It was thanks to Le Congsheng's cheerful introduction.

Tang Baiwei gave Hong Yuan the first impression of a graceful female cultivator.

"Yuan!"

"Cong Sheng, who is this?"

"Yuan, Baiwei is my close friend, she is a formal disciple of the Talisman Array Hall. Baiwei, Yuan is my best friend, a cultivation disciple of the Refining Equipment Hall, an incredibly talented genius!"

The second time he deepened his understanding.

It was during the sect competition, cheering for Le Congsheng.

"Brother Sheng, come back quickly!"

"Cong Sheng, getting this far is enough!!!"

The third time he deepened his understanding again.

It was due to the study of formations, and...

Suddenly, Hong Yuan recalled a female cultivator's figure, like a water fairy.

Jiang Nai!

In his heart, Jiang Nai showed Hong Yuan a sweet smile, bright as a flower, stirring long-lost ripples in his heart.

Hong Yuan couldn't help but sigh and turned to leave.

"Ah~"

"Old acquaintances rot away one after another, like leaves falling in the wind."

...

...

Tianji Cave Heaven.

Ziji Fairy, Xuanhun War General, and Jincun Battle General stood in the air.

Around them, white, black, and purple thunder descended from the sky, resembling vast oceans, then flew skyward again, extremely spectacular!

Tianji Pavilion, the most mysterious hall of the Phoenix Creek Sect, involves Wisdom Tao, Luck Tao, and Soul Tao.

This hall recruits very few disciples, considered the elite among elites.

Decades ago, thanks to a lecture by an elder of Tianji Pavilion, Hong Yuan initially understood the relationship between Luck Tao and the general situation.

It was from that time he realized either to go with the flow or to ride the tide. Necessarily avoid recklessly going against the trend is the realization of Luck Tao!

At this moment.

The three saints of Tianji Pavilion gathered here by chance, preparing to challenge Hong Yuan in two days.

They want the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill!

They also want the Phoenix Creek Divine Sword!

And they especially want the position of Co-Lord of the Phoenix Creek Sect!

This Phoenix Creek Sect, might as well comply with Tianji Pavilion, or should comply!

"Hong Yuan's Luck Tao is the same as before, two days later I will make a move. But there's no unusual movement on the part of Heavenly Palace and Mythical Sound Pavilion, right?" Jincun Battle General, dressed in purple armor, spoke up.

He is a seventh-level Saint of Luck Tao, very powerful, often responsible for the trend of luck in the Phoenix Creek Sect.

It's not without reason that the sect's competition rankings are so important, including the disciples of Tianji Pavilion from his line taking action!

However, what they do mostly is icing on the cake, not providing timely help.

"As long as we don't make a move against Hong Yuan, Heavenly Palace will not take extra action, on the contrary, Heavenly Palace wishes that Hong Yuan suffers more setbacks so that he can grow better. It's said that Li Jianqiu from the Demon Clan is close to becoming a seventh-level Saint."

"But at Mythical Sound Pavilion... Ye Zhuyin does want to help Hong Yuan, but Hong Yuan refused. This 'Phoenix Creek Co-Lord' really has shallow fate, haha~"

Ziji Fairy covered her mouth and laughed gently.

Regarding the opportunities Hong Yuan encountered along the way, it's impossible for the three of them not to feel envy and resentment.

Precisely because of this, they need to plan seriously.

This is the right path!

As long as they grasp the rules well and nibble away, even if Hong Yuan achieves earth-shattering success in the future, there will be no complaints.

Let alone the future?

Under the pressure from the World Devouring Demon Lord, whether the Human Race will even have a future is still uncertain!

Thinking of this, Ziji Fairy looked up, as if seeing the peerless dragon's shadow in the Black Heaven.

"Just wait well. In two days, Sword Master will naturally suppress for us, others even if they want to help Hong Yuan, they must weigh their own strength!"

Ziji Fairy withdrew her gaze, speaking lightly.

...

On the other side.

After spending half a day, Hong Yuan finally measured every inch of the Phoenix Creek Sect.

From this moment on, the Heaven and Earth of the Phoenix Creek Sect will favor him greatly.

Not only does it involve the means of the Heaven and Earth Grand Power Flow, but also human methods.

With the support of this Heaven and Earth, the great formation of the Phoenix Creek Sect, the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill, and the Phoenix Creek Divine Sword, Hong Yuan can naturally wield the power of the eighth tier!

No matter how shocked others may be, it will not be overly unbelievable.

Night.

The silver moon resembled a disk, the stars were sparse and the moon was bright.

Cold moonlight fell on the earth, illuminating the tombstone. At the same time, it shone on Hong Yuan's robe.

Here, named Le Xiaolin, was incredibly grand, akin to a noble's tomb!

At this moment.

Hong Yuan lowered his head, silently gazing at the two adjoining tombstones before him.

[Honored Father... Le Congsheng...]

[Honored Mother... Tang Baiwei...]

Gazing at the tombstones, the images of the two flickered in Hong Yuan's mind.

Their appearances transformed from youthful and tender, to the steadiness and dignity of middle age, and finally to the silver-haired and elder.

Gradually, their distinct appearances began to overlap, making it difficult for Hong Yuan to distinguish, his mind becoming hazy.

Especially when he condensed into a water mirror and saw his own enduring handsome face, his mind became even more disoriented.

"The indigo collar of my love, my heart endlessly ponders."

"For your sake alone, I have pondered till now."

"..."

"What can relieve worry? Only eternal life!"

Hong Yuan silently recited in his heart.

At this moment, his eyes grew ever brighter.

With the passage of time, beauty turns to skeletons, delicacies turn to dust, music turns to noise.

Everything will eventually turn plain, turn lonely, turn mundane!

As a cultivator of the Longevity Martial Arts, not seeking immortality as the ultimate goal is truly a waste of life!

Not to mention, Hong Yuan had long devoted himself to the Tao, pursuing eternal life.

Splash…

The sound of flowing water echoed.

Hong Yuan's figure disappeared without a trace, leaving only the sound of cicadas in Le Xiaolin.

...

"Qinglu, you're truly impolite. I've spoken nicely to you, so why do you block my way? My senior brother even saved you from despair..."

"Silence! You are not worthy to mention Brother Fu!"

The Sword Master wanted to leave the Seven Star Platform Tao Palace, returning to the Phoenix Creek Sect to preside over the grand gathering at the Phoenix Creek Cave Heaven.

Yet he was intercepted by the Qinglu Great Saint for various reasons!

At this moment.

Seeing that the Qinglu Great Saint refused to let him leave, the Sword Master finally lost his patience and was ready to tear off his facade.

It was at this moment that he faced harsh criticism from the Qinglu Great Saint.

Boom!

An overwhelming aura erupted from the Qinglu Great Saint, pointing his sword in all directions.

A strong wind rose, rustling the Heavenly Master Robe.

His gaze was like lightning, directly confronting the Sword Master.

He was using power to suppress!

He was fulfilling the promise made to his deceased friend: to support Hong Yuan as the new Phoenix Creek Great Saint!

"Don't think I don't know what you are scheming. You think what you lack compared to Brother Fu is the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill and the Phoenix Creek Divine Sword? Haha."

"Moreover, scheming for the inheritance of a junior, do you still have any dignity?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The Qinglu Great Saint spoke coldly, ready to act at the first disagreement.

Creaaak—

The Sword Master's face alternated between pale and flushed upon hearing these words.

His lips curled into a self-mocking smile, his tightly clenched fist, due to exerting too much force, caused his sharp fingernails to deeply pierce into his palm, bringing a numbing pain.

It's always like this, always like this!

It's true I'm not as good as my senior brother, but I'm not such a worthless person.

The Phoenix Creek Sect is not only the home of the Phoenix Creek Great Saint, but also my home.

How could I possibly scheme for the inheritance of a junior?

Moreover, who said I was supporting those three guys from the Tianji Pavilion?

Curse that damn thief's mother, don't let me find out your name, otherwise I'll definitely deal with you!

I'm acting to safeguard the path of Hong Yuan!

"Huff huff~"

Being misunderstood felt terrible and suffocating.

The Sword Master was so angry, his face red and eyes glaring, that his white mustache quivered up and down.

But he understood that no matter what he said, the rigid impression would deeply affect the Qinglu Great Saint.

He hoped Hong Yuan could survive this tribulation and become the true Phoenix Creek Co-Lord.

Thus he could unite all the saints of the Phoenix Creek Sect, preventing the disintegration of human will...
